We are only sorry it took us until now to discover this gem, where the food is scratchmade, the tea rooms are beautifully appointed and the selection of teapots for sale is very fun and reasonably priced.

This is what afternoon tea is about: the sharing of our selves with one another. Whether it's the hostess shopping, baking, setting the table and serving, or the guests gathering around the tea table to listen and laugh together. I am grateful to find this spirit alive in my hometown of Dunwoody, Georgia, and for the wonderful women I met through this experience.
